Hinduism gave the world Meditation, Yoga and Ayurveda — and a philosophy of peace, love and oneness with every being. Hindu Legacy brings that heritage to the public in London, Ontario.

Who we are
An advocacy and educational voice for Hindus in London
Hindu Legacy is an advocacy and educational non-profit organization established in London, Ontario in 2022. We focus on advocating for Hindus and Hinduism, and on educating the community to raise awareness about our philosophy.
We work directly with educators and community leaders to ensure an accurate representation of Hindus and Hinduism. We also work with policymakers and key stakeholders to champion issues of concern to Hindus in London and beyond — including defending civil and human rights.
Inspired by our guiding principles and Hindu teachings, we promote dignity, mutual respect and inclusivity. We are a non-partisan, non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers.
What we do

Rooted in dignity, respect, and inclusion

We work with all individuals and institutions committed to dignity, mutual respect and equality, and we serve Hindus across all sampradaya regardless of race, colour, national origin, ethnicity, ancestry, citizenship, gender, sexual orientation, age or disability.
